4 Things you do on Twitter that makes you look stupid

No, you’re not stupid, but the following makes you look so. Your friends won’t tell you the truth. Here’s where you can get the truth from. We have a deal to put you on the right path in your social media journey, right? So, here you go:

My Day on Twitter: How useless can this be to your followers? Who cares how many RTs you got today, or how many people followed you? Why should you fill our timeline with such irrelevant tweet? It’s like clapping for yourself after having sex. Of what benefit is that to your followers? I thought this went away with 2012, but it is sad to still see folks subscribe to this trash.

Talking about yourself all the time is plain annoying to some of us following you ‘cos of the value we expect you’ll tweet.

I understand that Twitter is thought amplifier, but amplifying all thoughts is one of those things that just make you look stupid to folks
